Sadly, this is not what her bishop said. He told her she needed to stand by her man and that divorce was not allowed by clergy. He told her women were meant to stand by their man no matter how he sins and that if Elizabeth Edwards had stood by her man things might have turned out differently for her.... He told her to look at Hillary instead and see how things have turned out fine for her.

yep he said that - implied that god killed Elizabeth Edwards for failing to stand by her cheating man.

Her congregation however is standing by her and has said they are OK with her divorce. She said she had to file to protect the kids and their rights. Otherwise she had no legal protection for herself or the kids. She said she would never remarry.

Couples should keep an eye on the finances and yes both people are responsible for themselves. I just hate the idea that people should spend their entire marriage keeping a paranoid eye on their spouse. I know it happens. But, I can't live that way.

That truly sickens me to hear... what a warped mind.​

I'm speechless.

That bishop is not a man of God. He may think he is, but he isn't. I would personally like to tell him that if he wants to know what the devil looks like, all he needs to do is to just look in the mirror.......

Yep...

To the people who do this vile thing to their spouse:

What goes around comes around.

To the people who have had this vile thing done to them:

You are actually lucky that you found out this person is so rotten. You don't have to be married to them anymore.

To the other woman/man:

Don't think that he/she won't do this to you. A tiger doesn't change his stripes.

To the people who fall in love with the victims:

Be patient. They have lots of wounds to heal. Trust is difficult but when you show them you are not their ex, they will be the MOST loyal, faithful significant other you will ever know. They know how much it hurts to be betrayed and will NEVER do it to you.

Been there, done that. Hated it. ........ and now I'm healed and over it. Hang in there.

This is also why I support pre-nups.

I know many people that say a pre-nup is starting out with the intent to fail.

Nonsense. A pre-nup is a way of saying to your partner

"I love you so much that I am creating a contract with you that guarantees that no matter what happens I will take care of you fairly and in the spirit of how I feel about you right now."

Just the idea that some one would abandon their children in such financial hardship when they had the ability to provide for them infuriates me.
